American Shorthair

Silver Tabby

American Shorthair

A steady silver swirl with an easygoing heart

Personality

Bright silver with bold black swirls like a bullseye on each side, the American Shorthair descends from the working cats that sailed with early settlers. Sturdy, healthy, and even-tempered, it is the definition of an easy companion.

Desktop Habits

Neither restless nor lazy: strolls at a calm pace, sits often to watch you work, and stalks your cursor with a patient hunter’s focus before pouncing.

With a Friend

The good-natured neighbor. Plays when invited, enjoys company without clinging, and when pounced on, it just gives a startled hop and carries on.
